Fantastic roundings, this with the young show off

This Saturday the second race of the series started with light winds but steady conditions around 7 to 8 knots from the Northwest. The windward mark was set close to Attersee am Attersee, light wind specialist team from Traunsee AUT 100 (Christian Spiessberger, Gerhard Schlipfinger and Max Reisinger) were the ones to show their skills taking the bullet of this race. They were followed also from Traunsee PROFS team AUT 114 (Christian Binder, Christian Feitchinger and Franky Fellner) in third came Berliner sensation GER 339 ( Donald Lippert, Tim Giesecke and Carsten Fischer).

There was a pause after this race since wind increased but became shifty, for an hour and half teams had to wait the start of the third race of the series which had the wind more to the west therefore with the windward mark right in front to the UYCAs, showoff to watch the rounding from the club mooring. The wind came up for the first upwind but then slowed down on the dowind and had as winner the Berliners sensation GER 339 followed by the youth team from HTWK Leipzig (Leo Bergk, Timo Friedrich and Alex Hahn) and in third another HTWK Leipzig youth team GER 282 (Max Bergk, Christoph Zeidler and Hagen Ruffen).

The fourth race of the series, was held successfully by the end of the day, enough to cause more anxiety on the sailors to return fast to the Zipfer beer truck. The reace was won again by the Berliners sensation GER 339 followed by Bayern team GER 2 (Christian Mack, Simon Haist and Max Haist) and in third 2022 European champion AUT 7 (Florian Felzmann, Stephen Beurle and Michael Felzmann) .

Tomorrow will end this 20th edition of the Zipfer also Austrian Championship, but tonight after the sailing the Zipfer truck is a must before the club dinner starts.
